I had a wonderful learning experience at Mediterranean Headquarter Bali. The environment is welcoming, the facilities are comfortable, and the programs are very helpful for preparing students to work in the hospitality industry. Thank you for everything!

As a student, I had a great learning experience at Mediterranean Bali Denpasar. The team was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to share their knowledge. I learned a lot about hospitality, customer service, and teamwork. Thank you to the entire team for the support and valuable experience!

I had such a great experience at this studio! Chandra and Ari are the kindest hosts! The process of making our jewelry was so easy, fun and smooth and they helped us out along the way. We chose our ring we wanted to recreate, and Chandra walked us through the entire process. Doing this class was so special and memorable, I am grateful to have created such a unique story in my jewelry collection. Thank you Chandra and Ari! You are the best!

Ubud Art Lessons – Silver ring making workshop! It was genuinely SO much fun, there are so many options to choose from, the staff are incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful every step of the way! You are involved in the whole process from the heating and tempering of the metal, the rolling and the engraving. It is totally up to you! You get a demo piece to practice your design on before going ahead and doing the real thing! There are a variety of designs that you can choose from or if you have your own design in mind, just show the team and they will do everything to support you. Special shout out to Bima who really supported us throughout the entire process and really helped us on the engraving! Ari and the whole team are so lovely! Once complete, the rings are polished and look incredible. Price point is great too and material is real 925 Silver. Would really recommend this activity especially at Ubud Art Lessons for anyone visiting Ubud. What a lovely souvenir to take home – thanks guys ☺️

Absolutely amazing place ! Starting from the very easy booking experience thanks to Ari and being able to tailor the experience to our wishes. She then taught us everything about the offerings and Balinese culture. We were able to ask any and all questions we had in a very open and honest conversation thanks to he. We then proceeded the fun process of creating our own ring. We ended up mostly with an idea, hope and dreams, which Bima then turned into actual art with his finishing touches. Ari and Bima are such lovely people, who have made this experience a life long memory we are able to cherish. Genuinely cannot put into words how grateful we are for these two angles and being able to learn and experience it all !!!!!

We visited Ubud Art Lessons to celebrate our birthday and our honeymoon by making our own jewelry, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the very first moment, the service was spectacular. The activity is incredibly fun, but at the same time, it brings a sense of peace; it turned out to be super relaxing and therapeutic. The staff is unbeatable: attentive, patient, and with wonderful energy, even more Birma. Without a doubt, this has been one of the most special moments of our trip. We recommend it 100% and will definitely come back on our next visit to Bali. Thank you for creating such a beautiful memory for us!

By just walking in, my husband and I were warmly welcomed by Ari who kindly explained the realistic process. We would highly recommend attending their silver Jewelry making in when visiting Ubud, Bali. You can choose your own design and they will guide you the way. Chandra, our talented instructor is amazing in his work. He is very patient and assisting willingly, especially when you need help with fine tuning your details. They are kind welcoming people. Thank you team for the memorable experience to learn and enjoy our time with you.

My family had the most memorable time at Ubud Art Lessons. We made silver rings together and had an unforgettable afternoon together bonding over an activity in which we learned a new skill. Chandra and Redana were marvelous. They were patient with us, kind and clear in how they directed us. A must-do experience!

Amazing experience : creating your own rings from scratch, I recommend ! Very nice to be able to fully participate in the process while getting all the help you need for more complex steps. Everyone was so nice, really nice atmosphere and place to have this activity. Special thanks to my instructor Redana for helping me make the rings I wanted to create come to life and for his precious recommendations 😉

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend English Cafe! The learning environment is friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Jasmine for guiding me through my IELTS preparation with so much patience and encouragement. Today I’m living and studying in Australia, and I’m truly grateful to have been part of English Cafe. Thank you for being part of my journey!

had a really great experience with this English Cafe course. It helped me build my English from the basics, and now I find it much easier to understand and speak in everyday conversations. I’m especially thankful to Jasmine for guiding me throughout the journey. My English used to be really messy, but she was patient and supportive, and now I feel much more confident when talking to native speakers. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their English in a relaxed and supportive environment!

I took a private IELTS General Training preparation class with English Cafe. I had such a great learning experience and got lots of practice/simulations for all the skills (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) which really helped boost my confidence before the test. What I liked most was how flexible the schedule was since the class could be arranged based on my availability. Also, Pak Sopyan, my tutor, was always willing to explain even the basic English concepts whenever needed to help correct my mistakes. I recommend English Cafe to anyone preparing for the IELTS test! 👏👍

To the best teacher ever ! ( Ms DEA ) Thank you for making a difference in my learning journey,»»Thank you for not just teaching, but inspiring me to love English,» THANKS ENGLISH CAFE. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

My ESP in Hospitality program was amazing. The teaching method as well as the material given are compact and practical. Teacher and staff also supportive, they’re great in communication and provide excellence service to me as their student. I recommend English Cafe for those who looking for a great place to improving english👍

the place to study is comfortable, the study material is easy to understand and the teachers who teach are also kind and friendly, I am very happy to be one of the students studying at OSS Bali.

I really enjoy studying at OSS, because the learning process here is very fun and easy to understand, the place to study is also good, the teachers are also cool and very friendly.

Hello everyone. My name is Dipa. I am from SMAN 2 Amlapura Senior High School. Right now, I am on 3rd grade. So, I have finished my english course for 20 times meeting. My review for OSS Bali, the company name for the English Course was amazing. So, I taught by Miss Gani, she’s such a loving and caring teacher. She teach me with passion of English Language and I am really enjoyed tought by her. The place took at Tea Point Paye. It’s so cozy and comfortable place to learned. There are music and wifi that helped me enjoyed the atmosphere to learned. Overall, I have such unforgetable memory here. Thank you OSS Bali for become my part of my dream journey to go to abroad.Good bye.

One of the best education agency that I ever met in my entire life thank you team for your service hope you always do great things for the future of education in Indonesia, especially in Bali. Keep up the good work

A very young and energetic team from different backgrounds to synergy and bring perfect outcome for all the support and events we had done , hopefully we can harvest a fruitful result for 2024, thank you Mbak Anik and team

First time I visited I was still in third grade, my parents were taking their IELTS exams for their PhD requirement. Second time around I came back to take the exam myself for my Masters application. Staffs were very clear with the instructions, very helpful through all the stages, provided excellent info for translation and english prep courses. Highly recommend, for anyone looking to improve english or take exams.

IALF Denpasar is the perfect place for learning. Previously, I had experienced IALF Serpong, where I took the IELTS test twice and joined a one-week IELTS preparation course. Those were great experiences, and I can confidently say that IALF Denpasar takes it to another level. The Denpasar center is much larger than the one in Serpong—it truly feels like a campus. The facilities are impressive, with several buildings and a cafeteria. There is a dedicated building for young and kids learners, while the main building hosts the IELTS test center, computer labs, student lounge, library, discussion rooms, a student hall, and more. I also appreciate that a praying room for Muslim students is provided. The classrooms are well-equipped, making the learning experience more comfortable and effective. The cleaning staff do a great job in maintaining the area, and the toilets are always kept clean. These details show how much IALF cares about providing a good study environment. The security staff are responsive, and all the staff members are highly professional. The academic team organizes the curriculum in a well-structured way that supports effective learning. Overall, IALF Denpasar offers a complete learning environment with excellent facilities, dedicated staff, and a comfortable atmosphere. Four thumbs up for IALF!

My IELTS experience at IALF Bali was excellent from start to finish. The test environment was calm, quiet, and well-managed, which really helped me stay focused during the exam. The instructions were clear, the staff were professional, and the overall atmosphere made the experience much less stressful than I expected. A trustworthy and credible institution for English language testing.

Taking my IELTS test at IALF Bali was a great experience. The staff were friendly and gave clear instructions, which helped me feel more relaxed. The test room was comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped, so I could focus during the exam. Overall, I felt the environment was professional and supportive.

IALF Bali is the perfect place for anyone planning to study or work overseas and improve their English proficiency. The facilities are excellent, the learning environment is welcoming, and the instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely supportive (especially Steve, mister siapa dulu, thx a lot for the experience). The courses are well-structured and help build both confidence and practical English skills. I highly recommend IALF Bali to anyone looking for top-quality English language education.

Fantastic experience for beginners – highly recommend! I found UP2U Surf School through Google reviews, and they absolutely lived up to the high rating. As a first-time surfer, I was a bit nervous, but the setup here is perfect. I was placed in a small group of just three people, which meant plenty of individual attention.The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. They made sure to spend 1-on-1 time with each of us, constantly providing helpful, real-time feedback and pointers to improve our technique. The owner, Paul, was also really attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. On top of the great service, the prices are very reasonable. A huge bonus is that they include a photo and video package at no extra cost, which is a really nice touch to look back on your progress. I will definitely be back!

I had an amazing experience with UP2U Surf School at Legian Kuta Beach. I chose them because of their great reviews and because their lessons are held on a shallow sand-bottom beach, which is much easier and safer for beginner surfers compared to reef breaks. I tried one surf lesson in Canggu that was double the price, with no photos, and I barely learned anything. With UP2U, the lesson was much better paced. They give you a 10min break between sessions to catch your breath, so you can actually make the most of it without getting too exhausted. The instructors are passionate, patient, and give tips after every attempt, so you can improve throughout the lesson. I also noticed a couple of female instructors which might be helpful for some. I did the 5 lesson private package with Dennis as my teacher and each day I was able to try a smaller board. He let me catch whitewash waves on my own and even paddled out with me to the lineup with more experienced surfers. He was there the entire time I was in the water and I went from almost zero experience to catching small unbroken waves in 5 lessons. I can confidently go out on my own into the surf and it was one of the best experiences in my life. I really recommend up2u surf school for anyone looking for first time or beginner surf lessons in Bali

I genuinely highly recommend this surf school. My boyfriend and I initially booked 2 beginner classes followed by their 5-day course. Ifan was our first instructor on our beginner classes, who taught us the basics of surfing. He’s a great instructor and was very patient with us. Instructor Adi took over our following classes and he teaches with tough love, but we love him! He tells us our mistakes every time we make one (which is often) and immediately corrects us. He is an EXCELLENT instructor. I managed to change from a soft board to a fun board within 7 lessons which is insane to me because I am personally afraid of water as i’m not the best swimmer but this experience made me feel like I was one with the ocean, which makes me feel so much more confident in surfing now that we can just rent boards even without the instructors, thanks to the foundation they have taught and imbedded in us. We seriously appreciate them and can’t thank them enough. Special thanks to Paul for the great pictures and advise on which classes to book. You seriously HAVE to take surfing lessons with Up2U whether you’re a beginner or not. Best team ever and their price is very affordable!!!! Side note: get coconuts from david’s beach bar next to Up2U, friendliest couple ever.

Had the most amazing time with up2u!! All the instructors were so nice, special shoutout to Adi 1 (he’s the goat) and Dennis. They made us improve so much as people who have never surfed before. They cared a lot about our safety as well. Paul the owner was very accommodating to our last minute booking since we had so much fun. Highly recommend

Great time learning how to surf (beginners) with UP2U over two days! Coach explained clearly and was encouraging 😊 The owner, Paul, emphasises safety. UP2U sends students theory to read beforehand and a specific surfing schedule, which we really appreciated. Paul was also kind and quick to respond to any enquiries. One of the best value for money out of the many surf schools out there

Absolutely the best surf school in Bali to learn surfing! The spot and the waves are perfect for beginners taking their first steps on a board. My instructor was amazing at teaching, motivating, and pushing me to improve while making everything feel fun and safe. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to start surfing in Bali!

We had a fantastic experience at this surfing school! Our two daughters had an amazing time and picked up the basics of surfing much faster than we expected. The instructor was extremely professional, patient, and encouraging, making them feel safe and confident in the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to surfing. Highly recommended for families and beginners! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🌊 An unforgettable first surfing lesson! Everything was explained clearly 🤩 Huge thanks to Riky for being such a patient and encouraging instructor. He created a great atmosphere and made the whole experience so much fun ☀️ The video feedback after the lesson was a fantastic bonus and really helped us understand what to improve. We would definitely come back!

I had two private sessions with Fonem and it was great. He is a very patient kind and fun person and made sessions for me much more fun. I learned a lot from him and he helped me to correct my techniques. And I got great videos to post on Instagram as well 😉 Communication with Froggy was so easy, totally recommend it.

Agus is truly a great instructor, was my first time and I progressed very fast. Also very caring all the time if you are okay and very accommodating. Best experience and reccomend to come and practice here!

We went to froggy surf school for our last day in Bali and definitely worth it! The instructor was really good and helpful for us beginners! Me and my husband had a blast! We recommend froggy surf school!

Today we had our second lesson with Froggy. The guys were really helpful and honest. We moved to a different beach because the waves at the first spot weren’t suitable for our level. At the new beach, we found perfect waves and had a great session. Highly recommended!

An awesome place to buy plants for your tropical plant collection! They have a great variety of plants and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. I bought two rhaphidophoras, they helped me make node cutting of them so that it fits into my small carry on luggage and I even got a discount. You can comuninate with the shop via WhatsApp and if you write soon enough (up to 4 weeks) they can prepare certificates for each plant. Thank you to the staff!

Bought a good quality japanese monstera adansonii variegata here with a very reasonable price

Very good visit to the nursery, warm team and good variety of of plants. I had very good selection with a Professional packaging. They processed necessary documentation on time. Thanks team, hope to visit again once in Bali!

Walking around Denpasar along Jalan Hayam Wuruk, one of the areas lined with plant nurseries, I came across the INDO TROPICAL PLANT area, as soon as I entered I found welcoming and competent staff. From the entrance a very competent young man who knew the various types of plants very well and two young ladies accompanied me during the visit. Shortly after the entrance there were various pots of heliconia. Right under a large specimen, with very beautiful flowering, there were also some calathea lutea in pots of various sizes, continuing there were various types of Musa (Banana trees), until reaching an area where there were more heliconias, a vast series of plants in more or less large pots, and a myriad of small tropical plants typical of various areas of the forests in an area organized with great care: a marvel! It was a very pleasant and interesting visit that I recommend to anyone who loves plants for the opportunity to see many of them up close with the help of real experts, in an environment where the plants are raised with care and love. The welcome was fantastic, the young staff accompanied me around the area and helped translate my requests for clarification, even calling one of their experts on the phone in the most difficult cases. Certainly if I return to Denpasar I will not fail to visit them again.

Very friendly nursery and one of the best place to buy plants and shipped them overseas 👍

Five Arts Studio is one of my favourite places to visit in Bali 🙂 filled with absolutely lovely teachers and gentle people, this place is located in the midst of nature and teaches batik, wood carving and keliki! I’ve been to the studio on both my trips for Keliki painting. I was lucky to be taught by the artist Nyoman Juli who got me to love Keliki enough to come back home and continue. These teachers go above and beyond! They are gentle, patient and remember you. They teach you technique and guide you, while allowing you to learn and figure it out. This time Nyoman Juli taught me to use the bamboo brush technique and I was beyond thrilled! I look forward to coming back and doing more! There’s also a lovely crystal and art shop attached to the studio that’s worth visiting! Thank you Nyoman Juli and the team at Five Arts Studio for all your kindness:)

Did a full day doing batik then wood carving. The batik was alot harder than expected but we were guided very patiently by the team. The wood carving was also a challenge but still ended up with a decent final product. The team looked after us all day and even offered a quiet area to rest before the next class started. The area is surrounded by rice fields, lush green gardens and different types of artwork. Such a tranquil and creative space to get yiur art on. Would love to come back!

This was one the highlights of my trip to Ubud! It was a very engaging and creative activity. It was wonderful to learn about this traditional art and have the chance to make my own Batik creation! Dika and the rest of the staff were so patient and helpful making sure our Batik design came out as we wanted. They are excellent artists and made the experience so enjoyable with their warmth and hospitality. I highly recommend this workshop!

​I visited Five Arts Studio in Keliki for my very first batik painting experience, and it was the highlight of my trip to Bali. If you are a beginner like me, this is the perfect place to learn. ​ The studio is set in a beautiful, traditional family compound surrounded by rice fields, which makes the whole process feel incredibly peaceful. I started with a blank white cloth and was guided through sketching, applying the hot wax (which is trickier than it looks but very soothing!), and finally the coloring. The artists here – like Juli, Dika, and Ajus – are so patient. They don’t rush you at all. Since it was my first time, I was nervous about messing up the wax lines, but they were right there to help me touch up my work and give me tips on how to blend the dyes for a professional finish. ​ ​They make you feel like a real artist, even if you’ve never picked up a brush. ​ Result: I walked away with a beautiful, vibrant piece of art that I actually made myself. ​If you’re in the Tegallalang or Ubud area, skip the big crowded classes and come here to Keliki. It’s a calm, creative, and truly Balinese experience!

Best art class I have taken. Everyone is so kind and patient. I’m very happy with the results! Dika was extra helpful and a very good teacher. I’m definitely coming back!

Had the most wonderful experience doing batik painting at Five Art Studio, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly! Our guide Dika was absolutely fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable about the art form and so patient in walking us through every step of the process. Neither of us had tried batik before, but Dika made us feel completely at ease and set us up for success. The whole session was relaxed, fun, and genuinely enjoyable. We left not only with beautiful pieces we made ourselves, but with a real appreciation for this traditional craft. If you’re in Ubud looking for a meaningful, hands-on cultural experience, Five Art Studio is a must-do. Ask for Dika — you won’t be disappointed!

Attended the batik painting with 2 mates. Dika and Dun were amazing, friendly patient and so helpful. We spent 4 hours creating our designs and the time flew. Beverages, biscuits and toilet available. They need time to dry the painting once youre finished and can deliver around ubud the following day but we were leaving early so they did a rush job to process ours. Would do again. A beautiful area.

My wife and I visited the school the night before to make a reservation. It was a sudden visit, and our English was poor, but they were very kind and accommodating. Afterwards, we exchanged details via WhatsApp and the day arrived. On the day of the lesson, all we had to do was wear our swimsuits; they provided us with surfboards, leashes, rash guards, and towels. After leaving our valuables in a locker, we headed to the beach. The lesson followed a routine of training on land followed by surfing in the ocean. It was almost my wife’s first time, but thanks to the careful coaching, she successfully took off on her very first wave! She was able to catch many more waves afterwards, creating wonderful memories in the beautiful land of Bali! We also received lots of photos to take home! If you’re looking for a surf school in the Seminyak area, I highly recommend it!

Yoga is an amazing instructor, he was very clear and made it so easy for me. As a beginner I was nervous and he knew how to make sure I was calm and gain confidence in the water. Very patient and pushed me when I needed it. I had a brilliant time and would really recommend!!

Was an amazing experience! Thank you Louis, you were the best instructor! And thank you to the staff for being so nice! Went with my wife taking the family private class. Price included unlimited free cold drinks, towels, showers to rinse off, and 100+ pictures. Totally worth it.

Definitely the highlight of my trip! The instructors are amazing and supported us throughout the two hours we learnt how to surf! We expected a laid back bodyboarding session but were pleasantly surprised by a surfing lesson instead! The instructors were so kind and assisted me throughout the session. By the end of the two hour sessions I could stand on the board and let the waves wash me back to the shore (without any prior experience). It was really fun and I would definitely go again!

A big shoutout to Sono, Sinta and team for the great surfing experience at DaWaves! Be it from the booking process to the class, everything was seamless. They took care of everyone and ensure we are having fun. Will return again!
